Question: My colleagues here have already recalled the words PresidentTrump said in Warsaw. He made yet another statement about the United States being ready to begin direct supplies of liquefied natural gas to Poland and Central Europe. What do you think of these plans, especially in the context of our plans for the Nord Stream? What if gas becomes a new cause of tension in US-Russian relations?
Vladimir Putin: I view these plans highly positively because healthy competition is good for everyone. We support an open market and healthy competition.
The US President said yesterday during the discussion that the United States stands for open, fair competition. And, by the way, when I spoke, I supported his point. So, we are absolutely all right with this; if it is so, if there is open and fair competition, no political motives or political resources involved, it would be quite acceptable for us. Because to date, it is an obvious fact that any specialist would tell you: the cost of production and delivery of liquefied natural gas from the United States is much higher than our LNG – even LNG – and is not even comparable to Russian pipeline gas. So, there is no doubt that we have an absolute competitive advantage. But to keep it, our market participants must work hard. They need to retain these competitive advantages.

These 120 companies have gathered under one roof to send a message to European and Chinese producers: "A new rival is coming." It is the second time that these Iranian producers of workshop tools and machineries display their latest products in Tehran's international trade fair.
The event showcases a wide range of equipment that are widely used in the Iranian market and mostly dominated by foreign products. Some manufacturers claim that their products are even more efficient than similar types that are imported from abroad. Products vary from CNC machines to tools used in the oil and gas industry as well as safety equipment for workshops.

More than 3 decades of political and economic isolation has not negatively impacted Iran’s attractiveness as an emerging market.
Iran’s emergence from isolation could be the most significant opening of an economy since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia.
With an area of 1,648, 195 m2 Iran is the second largest country in the Middle East and the 18th largest country in the world. Its area roughly equals that of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany combined, or somewhat more than the US state of Alaska.
The country has a population of 77 million ranking number 17 in the list of countries by population. Half of this population is under the age of 35 and there is literacy rate of 93%.
With a population of 7,705,036, Tehran is the country's capital and largest city. It is as well known to be the leading cultural and economic center of Iran. The other major cities of the country are: Mashhad, Karaj, Isfahan, Shiraz and Tabriz.
Iran is a major regional and middle power, exerting considerable influence in international energy security and the world economy through its large reserves of fossil fuels. Iran has the second largest proved gas reserves in the world after Russia and also ranks fourth in oil reserves.
Iran's economy is a mixture of central planning, state ownership of oil and other large enterprises, village agriculture, and small-scale private trading and service ventures.
The Iranian government's officially stated goal is to establish a new world order based on world peace, global collective security and justice.
Attractive factors for any investor may include
- An established banking sector
- Transportation, aviation and energy infrastructure
- Brand conscious consumer market
- Large number of port facilities in Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea
- Rich natural resources of gas, oil, copper, aluminum, silver and gold.
- More than 20 free trade and special economic zones ready to serve international companies- some are actually tax free environments.
- A gateway for shipments and business to and from South-West Asia and Central Asia Caucuses.
- Attractive law on foreign investment
The sectors that could attract investment in Iran are broad. The first and foremost obvious destination for development would be the energy sector which has been set back by the lack of new equipment and technical expertise as oil major entities haven’t had presence in the country. The other attractive sectors include aviation, retail, and automotive sectors.
With the lifting of sanctions, the entry of official retail outlets will be able to tap into a large brand conscious population. This will boom the construction and retail sectors.
Despite the promising picture we described, there are clearly obstacles to do business in Iran that would go beyond just sanctions. Any investor looking for investment in the country would face a set of challenges that is primarily due to not having much precedent of foreign investment during decades of isolation. Thus, having a business strategy, local knowledge and legal expertise will mitigate risk and maximize profit of investment in Iran: the last frontier market.

Canada is the fifth-largest producer of oil in the world. But when the price of oil plummeted in late 2014, the country’s oil-rich western province of Alberta began hurtling toward a recession, with widespread layoffs and historic reductions in drilling activity.
The impact was felt across Canada, too. Crude oil is the country’s number one export, and 99 percent of it is sold to the United States. But in recent years, the US has emerged as a major oil producer in its own right, following a revolution in controversial fracking technology that has increased US oil production and contributed to a global oversupply of oil. Now, Canada's energy sector faces the difficult question of how to meet new markets in a changing global energy landscape.
VICENews visited Alberta, known as Canada’s “Texas of the North," in what is normally high season for drilling — just before the frozen ground thaws — to explore how the bitter sting of low oil prices is affecting the region’s the economy.

Kashmir proudly known as the paradise of earth is also home to temperate fruits like apple for which the state is very famous across the globe. The main factor which influences temperate fruit bearing trees is soil, climate and environment which are highly favorable and unparalleled in the province of Kashmir. Apple (Malus pumila) is commercially the most important temperate fruit and is fourth among the most widely produced fruits in the world after banana, orange and grape. Man has very little control over nature especially factors like the climatic conditions which influences the geographic distribution of various kinds and varieties of temperate fruits. Although apple can be grown in all temperate regions including both the northern and the southern hemisphere it is not possible in the tropical climate of South Asia.

Gas

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and plasma). A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture would contain a variety of pure gases much like the air. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually makes a colorless gas invisible to the human observer. The interaction of gas particles in the presence of electric and gravitational fields are considered negligible as indicated by the constant velocity vectors in the image. One type of commonly known gas is steam.

The gaseous state of matter is found between the liquid and plasma states, the latter of which provides the upper temperature boundary for gases. Bounding the lower end of the temperature scale lie degenerative quantum gases which are gaining increasing attention. High-density atomic gases super cooled to incredibly low temperatures are classified by their statistical behavior as either a Bose gas or a Fermi gas. For a comprehensive listing of these exotic states of matter see list of states of matter.

Province

A province is almost always an administrative division, within a country or state. The term derives from the ancient Roman provincia, which was the major territorial and administrative unit of the Roman Empire's territorial possessions outside Italy. The term is now used in many countries.

In many countries with no actual provinces, "the provinces" or "the province" means outside the capital city.

Etymology

The English word "province" is attested since about 1330 and derives from the 13th-century Old French "province", which itself comes from the Latin word "provincia", which referred to the sphere of authority of a magistrate; in particular, to a foreign territory.

A popular etymology is from Latin"pro-" ("on behalf of") and "vincere" ("to triumph" or "to take control of"). Thus a "province" would a territory or function that a Roman magistrate held control of on behalf of his government.
In fact, the word Province is an ancient term from public law, which means: "office belonging to a magistrate".
This agrees with the Latin term's earlier usage as a generic term for a jurisdiction under Roman law.

From Delta-ee's Distributed PowerService. In the past five years, a large proportion of gas engine sales in Canada have originated in Alberta, where they were deployed within energy-intensive industrial facilities on the oil sands. But has the global oil price collapse affected gas engine investments in this sector? What other Provinces should players target?
Similarly, the Australian gas engine market has historically been dominated by coal mine methane projects. But with the collapse in coal prices, coupled with coal mines closing down, what will be the impact on gas engine sales within new projects and the replacement market? What other fuel types show promise?

He made yet another statement about the United States being ready to begin direct supplies of liquefied natural gas to Poland and Central Europe. What do you think of these plans, especially in the context of our plans for the Nord Stream? What if gas becomes a new cause of tension in US-Russian relations?
Vladimir Putin: I view these plans highly positively because healthy competition is good for everyone. We support an open market and healthy competition.
The US President said yesterday during the discussion that the United States stands for open, fair competition. And, by the way, when I spoke, I supported his point. So, we are absolutely all right with this; if it is so, if there is open and fair competition, no political motives or political resources involved, it would be quite acceptable for us. Because to date, it is an obvious fact that any specialist would tell you: the cost of production and delivery of liquefied natural gas from the United States is much higher than our LNG – even LNG – and is not even comparable to Russian pipeline gas. So, there is no doubt that we have an absolute competitive advantage. But to keep it, our market participants must work hard. They need to retain these competitive advantages.

Ratings agencyStandard & Poor's has downgraded Ukraine's credit rating by one notch as Kiev attempts to restructure its foreign debt.
The firm lowered its long-term foreign currency ratings on Ukraine to CC from CCC-, classifying the restructuring of Ukraine's foreign currency debt as tantamount to default. The Ukrainian government is in talks with Western creditors for 15 billion dollars in debt relief, as part of a four-year international rescue plan for the country. The International Monetary Fund has approved a 17.5-billion–dollar loan to Ukraine in exchange for economic, budget and monetary reforms. On Thursday, Ukrainian lawmakers adopted a bill to overhaul the country’s natural gas market. They also passed a series of measures aimed at boosting Ukraine’s economy.

These 120 companies have gathered under one roof to send a message to European and Chinese producers: "A new rival is coming." It is the second time that these Iranian producers of workshop tools and machineries display their latest products in Tehran's international trade fair.
The event showcases a wide range of equipment that are widely used in the Iranian market and mostly dominated by foreign products. Some manufacturers claim that their products are even more efficient than similar types that are imported from abroad. Products vary from CNC machines to tools used in the oil and gas industry as well as safety equipment for workshops. What is obvious here is that Iranian producers are trying hard to catch up with their foreign rivals that are currently dominating Iran's huge tools and machinery market. Tool manufacturers say that the government must control the massive flow of such products from abroad and protect domestic companies. The expo is also the scene for new services related to the tools industry. The event also aims at finding new export markets and introducing the advantages of Iran for foreign investors in the tools and machinery industry.

More than 3 decades of political and economic isolation has not negatively impacted Iran’s attractiveness as an emerging market.
Iran’s emergence from isolation could be the most significant opening of an economy since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia.
With an area of 1,648, 195 m2 Iran is the second largest country in the Middle East and the 18th largest country in the world. Its area roughly equals that of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany combined, or somewhat more than the US state of Alaska.
The country has a population of 77 million ranking number 17 in the list of countries by population. Half of this population is under the age of 35 and there is literacy rate of 93%.
With a population of 7,705,036, Tehran is the country's capital and largest city. It is as well known to be the leading cultural and economic center of Iran. The other major cities of the country are: Mashhad, Karaj, Isfahan, Shiraz and Tabriz.
Iran is a major regional and middle power, exerting considerable influence in international energy security and the world economy through its large reserves of fossil fuels. Iran has the second largest proved gas reserves in the world after Russia and also ranks fourth in oil reserves.
Iran's economy is a mixture of central planning, state ownership of oil and other large enterprises, village agriculture, and small-scale private trading and service ventures.
The Iranian government's officially stated goal is to establish a new world order based on world peace, global collective security and justice.
Attractive factors for any investor may include
- An established banking sector
- Transportation, aviation and energy infrastructure
- Brand conscious consumer market
- Large number of port facilities in Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea
- Rich natural resources of gas, oil, copper, aluminum, silver and gold.
- More than 20 free trade and special economic zones ready to serve international companies- some are actually tax free environments.
- A gateway for shipments and business to and from South-West Asia and Central Asia Caucuses.
- Attractive law on foreign investment
The sectors that could attract investment in Iran are broad. The first and foremost obvious destination for development would be the energy sector which has been set back by the lack of new equipment and technical expertise as oil major entities haven’t had presence in the country. The other attractive sectors include aviation, retail, and automotive sectors.
With the lifting of sanctions, the entry of official retail outlets will be able to tap into a large brand conscious population. This will boom the construction and retail sectors.
Despite the promising picture we described, there are clearly obstacles to do business in Iran that would go beyond just sanctions. Any investor looking for investment in the country would face a set of challenges that is primarily due to not having much precedent of foreign investment during decades of isolation. Thus, having a business strategy, local knowledge and legal expertise will mitigate risk and maximize profit of investment in Iran: the last frontier market.

Canada is the fifth-largest producer of oil in the world. But when the price of oil plummeted in late 2014, the country’s oil-rich western province of Alberta began hurtling toward a recession, with widespread layoffs and historic reductions in drilling activity.
The impact was felt across Canada, too. Crude oil is the country’s number one export, and 99 percent of it is sold to the United States. But in recent years, the US has emerged as a major oil producer in its own right, following a revolution in controversial fracking technology that has increased US oil production and contributed to a global oversupply of oil. Now, Canada's energy sector faces the difficult question of how to meet new markets in a changing global energy landscape.
VICENews visited Alberta, known as Canada’s “Texas of the North," in what is normally high season for drilling — just before the frozen ground thaws — to explore how the bitter sting of low oil prices is affecting the region’s the economy.

Kashmir proudly known as the paradise of earth is also home to temperate fruits like apple for which the state is very famous across the globe. The main factor which influences temperate fruit bearing trees is soil, climate and environment which are highly favorable and unparalleled in the province of Kashmir. Apple (Malus pumila) is commercially the most important temperate fruit and is fourth among the most widely produced fruits in the world after banana, orange and grape. Man has very little control over nature especially factors like the climatic conditions which influences the geographic distribution of various kinds and varieties of temperate fruits. Although apple can be grown in all temperate regions including both the northern and the southern hemisphere it is not possible in the tropical climate of South Asia.

Delta-ee - What are the opportunities in the Canadian and Australian gas engine markets?

From Delta-ee's Distributed PowerService. In the past five years, a large proportion of gas engine sales in Canada have originated in Alberta, where they were deployed within energy-intensive industrial facilities on the oil sands. But has the global oil price collapse affected gas engine investments in this sector? What other Provinces should players target?
Similarly, the Australian gas engine market has historically been dominated by coal mine methane projects. But with the collapse in coal prices, coupled with coal mines closing down, what will be the impact on gas engine sales within new projects and the replacement market? What other fuel types show promise?
For more information visit www.delta-ee.com or contact john.murray@delta-ee.com

So, there is no doubt that we have an absolute competitive advantage. But to keep it, our market participants must work hard. They need to retain these competitive advantages.

The Ukrainian government is in talks with Western creditors for 15 billion dollars in debt relief, as part of a four-year international rescue plan for the country. The International Monetary Fund has approved a 17.5-billion–dollar loan to Ukraine in exchange for economic, budget and monetary reforms. On Thursday, Ukrainian lawmakers adopted a bill to overhaul the country’s natural gas market. They also passed a series of measures aimed at boosting Ukraine’s economy.

These 120 companies have gathered under one roof to send a message to European and Chinese producers: "A new rival is coming." It is the second time that these Iranian producers of workshop tools and machineries display their latest products in Tehran's international trade fair.
The event showcases a wide range of equipment that are widely used in the Iranian market and mostly dominated by foreign products. Some manufacturers claim that their products are even more efficient than similar types that are imported from abroad. Products vary from CNC machines to tools used in the oil and gas industry as well as safety equipment for workshops. What is obvious here is that Iranian producers are trying hard to catch up with their foreign rivals that are currently dominating Iran's huge tools and machinery market. Tool manufacturers say that the government must control the massive flow of such products from abroad and protect domestic companies. The expo is also the scene for new services related to the tools industry. The event also aims at finding new export markets and introducing the advantages of Iran for foreign investors in the tools and machinery industry.

More than 3 decades of political and economic isolation has not negatively impacted Iran’s attractiveness as an emerging market.
Iran’s emergence from isolation could be the most significant opening of an economy since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia.
With an area of 1,648, 195 m2 Iran is the second largest country in the Middle East and the 18th largest country in the world. Its area roughly equals that of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany combined, or somewhat more than the US state of Alaska.
The country has a population of 77 million ranking number 17 in the list of countries by population. Half of this population is under the age of 35 and there is literacy rate of 93%.
With a population of 7,705,036, Tehran is the country's capital and largest city. It is as well known to be the leading cultural and economic center of Iran. The other major cities of the country are: Mashhad, Karaj, Isfahan, Shiraz and Tabriz.
Iran is a major regional and middle power, exerting considerable influence in international energy security and the world economy through its large reserves of fossil fuels. Iran has the second largest proved gas reserves in the world after Russia and also ranks fourth in oil reserves.
Iran's economy is a mixture of central planning, state ownership of oil and other large enterprises, village agriculture, and small-scale private trading and service ventures.
The Iranian government's officially stated goal is to establish a new world order based on world peace, global collective security and justice.
Attractive factors for any investor may include
- An established banking sector
- Transportation, aviation and energy infrastructure
- Brand conscious consumer market
- Large number of port facilities in Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea
- Rich natural resources of gas, oil, copper, aluminum, silver and gold.
- More than 20 free trade and special economic zones ready to serve international companies- some are actually tax free environments.
- A gateway for shipments and business to and from South-West Asia and Central Asia Caucuses.
- Attractive law on foreign investment
The sectors that could attract investment in Iran are broad. The first and foremost obvious destination for development would be the energy sector which has been set back by the lack of new equipment and technical expertise as oil major entities haven’t had presence in the country. The other attractive sectors include aviation, retail, and automotive sectors.
With the lifting of sanctions, the entry of official retail outlets will be able to tap into a large brand conscious population. This will boom the construction and retail sectors.
Despite the promising picture we described, there are clearly obstacles to do business in Iran that would go beyond just sanctions. Any investor looking for investment in the country would face a set of challenges that is primarily due to not having much precedent of foreign investment during decades of isolation. Thus, having a business strategy, local knowledge and legal expertise will mitigate risk and maximize profit of investment in Iran: the last frontier market.

Canada is the fifth-largest producer of oil in the world. But when the price of oil plummeted in late 2014, the country’s oil-rich western province of Alberta began hurtling toward a recession, with widespread layoffs and historic reductions in drilling activity.
The impact was felt across Canada, too. Crude oil is the country’s number one export, and 99 percent of it is sold to the United States. But in recent years, the US has emerged as a major oil producer in its own right, following a revolution in controversial fracking technology that has increased US oil production and contributed to a global oversupply of oil. Now, Canada's energy sector faces the difficult question of how to meet new markets in a changing global energy landscape.
VICENews visited Alberta, known as Canada’s “Texas of the North," in what is normally high season for drilling — just before the frozen ground thaws — to explore how the bitter sting of low oil prices is affecting the region’s the economy.

Kashmir proudly known as the paradise of earth is also home to temperate fruits like apple for which the state is very famous across the globe. The main factor which influences temperate fruit bearing trees is soil, climate and environment which are highly favorable and unparalleled in the province of Kashmir. Apple (Malus pumila) is commercially the most important temperate fruit and is fourth among the most widely produced fruits in the world after banana, orange and grape. Man has very little control over nature especially factors like the climatic conditions which influences the geographic distribution of various kinds and varieties of temperate fruits. Although apple can be grown in all temperate regions including both the northern and the southern hemisphere it is not possible in the tropical climate of South Asia.

QC Bud: The Black Market's Last Stand

Quebec loves weed - the number of consumers here has been estimated as high as 1.2 million. But despite being home to ¼ of Canada’s cannabis users, the market here is way behind. Instead, 90% of the industry is controlled by the black market, with organized crime pulling the strings.
But with legalization around the corner, small and large businesses alike are gearing up to compete with criminal groups for Quebec’s lucrative weed industry - valued at around 2.5 billion dollars. Meanwhile, biker gangs like the Hells Angels are expanding and they’re not going to just hand over their share of the market.

Understanding Carbon Storage and Greenhouse Gas Uptake in Grasslands

Presenter: Dr. Edward Bork, University of AlbertaAlberta contains about 9 M ha of grazing lands, most of which (6.5 M+ ha) consists of native grasslands. While these areas are important for forage and livestock production, they also provide many other environmental goods and services (EG&S), including carbon (C) storage, pollinator habitat, and biodiversity. We are undertaking research to quantify these benefits in northern temperate grasslands, and here report on the role of these areas for storing carbon, maintaining soil health, and reducing greenhouse gases.

We spend time with both illegal and legal players as they begin making big moves in the province - from former criminals who want to go legit, to licensed medical producers preparing to tap into the massive recreational market. And we look into whether Ottawa’s tactics to loosen the criminal stronghold on weed will succeed in Quebec.

Presenter: Dr. Edward Bork, University of AlbertaAlberta contains about 9 M ha of grazing lands, most of which (6.5 M+ ha) consists of native grasslands. While these areas are important for forage and livestock production, they also provide many other environmental goods and services (EG&S), including carbon (C) storage, pollinator habitat, and biodiversity. We are undertaking research to quantify these benefits in northern temperate grasslands, and here report on the role of these areas for storing carbon, maintaining soil health, and reducing greenhouse gases. Recently completed studies at up to 114 sites across Alberta indicate that native grasslands hold large amounts of C, including in soil, but also in aboveground dead and decaying vegetation. In pairwise comparisons, native grasslands had approximately 1.5x more total C than introduced forages, and 1.62x more C than cropland cover types. By linking these values to spatial data on land cover changes for the province and market values for C, we estimate that the value of C retained in native grasslands by avoiding conversion exceeds $3B within each of the Prairie and Parkland regions. Even larger values of C have been lost due to conversion of native grasslands into tame forage and cropland. Parallel investigations within agroforestry systems across central Alberta further support these studies, as silvo-pastures (natural aspen forest combined with perennial grassland) were effective at storing C and reducing GHG footprint relative to systems comprised of annual cropland paired with shelterbelts or natural hedgerows. Native grassland also had improved soil health metrics relative to other agricultural land uses based on soil aggregation and the ability to provide water under increasing moisture stress.
Our research also revealed that long-term exposure to grazing was consistent with maintaining, and in select situations increasing, the size of C pools within native grasslands. While grazing predictably reduced C in total aboveground vegetation, this change was offset by increases in other C pools, including root mass, soil organic matter, and in some cases shoot mass, particularly under high moisture availability in SW Alberta. The latter coincided with increased abundance of grazing tolerant introduced plant species, which may help maintain or increase soil C. Moderate grazing was also compatible with maintaining range health, and reduced woody species encroachment into grasslands of the Rocky MountainForest Reserve. Finally, current studies underway are quantifying the role of grazing in altering various greenhouse gases (GHG), including CO2, as well as more potent GHGs such as CH4 and N2O. Collective results from these projects aim to highlight the compatibility of native grasslands in maintaining, and sometimes increasing, a variety of environmental goods and services, including forage production, biodiversity and C storage. Our long-term goal is to encourage the development of novel policies and market mechanisms that reward grassland managers for maintaining and improving these EG&Ss.

While these areas are important for forage and livestock production, they also provide many other environmental goods and services (EG&S), including carbon (C) storage, pollinator habitat, and biodiversity. We are undertaking research to quantify these benefits in northern temperate grasslands, and here report on the role of these areas for storing carbon, maintaining soil health, and reducing greenhouse gases. Recently completed studies at up to 114 sites across Alberta indicate that native grasslands hold large amounts of C, including in soil, but also in aboveground dead and decaying vegetation. In pairwise comparisons, native grasslands had approximately 1.5x more total C than introduced forages, and 1.62x more C than cropland cover types. By linking these values to spatial data on land cover changes for the province and market values for C, we estimate that the value of C retained in native grasslands by avoiding conversion exceeds $3B within each of the Prairie and Parkland regions. Even larger values of C have been lost due to conversion of native grasslands into tame forage and cropland. Parallel investigations within agroforestry systems across central Alberta further support these studies, as silvo-pastures (natural aspen forest combined with perennial grassland) were effective at storing C and reducing GHG footprint relative to systems comprised of annual cropland paired with shelterbelts or natural hedgerows. Native grassland also had improved soil health metrics relative to other agricultural land uses based on soil aggregation and the ability to provide water under increasing moisture stress.
Our research also revealed that long-term exposure to grazing was consistent with maintaining, and in select situations increasing, the size of C pools within native grasslands. While grazing predictably reduced C in total aboveground vegetation, this change was offset by increases in other C pools, including root mass, soil organic matter, and in some cases shoot mass, particularly under high moisture availability in SW Alberta. The latter coincided with increased abundance of grazing tolerant introduced plant species, which may help maintain or increase soil C. Moderate grazing was also compatible with maintaining range health, and reduced woody species encroachment into grasslands of the Rocky MountainForest Reserve. Finally, current studies underway are quantifying the role of grazing in altering various greenhouse gases (GHG), including CO2, as well as more potent GHGs such as CH4 and N2O. Collective results from these projects aim to highlight the compatibility of native grasslands in maintaining, and sometimes increasing, a variety of environmental goods and services, including forage production, biodiversity and C storage. Our long-term goal is to encourage the development of novel policies and market mechanisms that reward grassland managers for maintaining and improving these EG&Ss.

Putin on Nord Stream 2: Some don't like open and fair competition on gas market

Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/TeamRussiaInsider
Question: My colleagues here have already recalled the words PresidentTrump said in Warsaw. He made yet another statement about the United States being ready to begin direct supplies of liquefied natural gas to Poland and Central Europe. What do you think of these plans, especially in the context of our plans for the Nord Stream? What if gas becomes a new cause of tension in US-Russian relations?
Vladimir Putin: I view these plans highly positively because healthy competition is good for everyone. We support an open market and healthy competition.
The US President said yesterday during the discussion that the United States stands for open, fair competition. And, by the way, when I spoke, I supported his point. So, we are absolutely all right with this; if it is so, if there is open and fair competition, no political motives or political resources involved, it would be quite acceptable for us. Because to date, it is an obvious fact that any specialist would tell you: the cost of production and delivery of liquefied natural gas from the United States is much higher than our LNG – even LNG – and is not even comparable to Russian pipeline gas. So, there is no doubt that we have an absolute competitive advantage. But to keep it, our market participants must work hard. They need to retain these competitive advantages.

Ukraine opens gas market to the investors

Ratings agencyStandard & Poor's has downgraded Ukraine's credit rating by one notch as Kiev attempts to restructure its foreign debt.
The firm lowered its long-term foreign currency ratings on Ukraine to CC from CCC-, classifying the restructuring of Ukraine's foreign currency debt as tantamount to default. The Ukrainian government is in talks with Western creditors for 15 billion dollars in debt relief, as part of a four-year international rescue plan for the country. The International Monetary Fund has approved a 17.5-billion–dollar loan to Ukraine in exchange for economic, budget and monetary reforms. On Thursday, Ukrainian lawmakers adopted a bill to overhaul the country’s natural gas market. They also passed a series of measures aimed at boosting Ukraine’s economy.

Iran a huge market for workshop tools

These 120 companies have gathered under one roof to send a message to European and Chinese producers: "A new rival is coming." It is the second time that these Iranian producers of workshop tools and machineries display their latest products in Tehran's international trade fair.
The event showcases a wide range of equipment that are widely used in the Iranian market and mostly dominated by foreign products. Some manufacturers claim that their products are even more efficient than similar types that are imported from abroad. Products vary from CNC machines to tools used in the oil and gas industry as well as safety equipment for workshops. What is obvious here is that Iranian producers are trying hard to catch up with their foreign rivals that are currently dominating Iran's huge tools and machinery market. Tool manufacturers say that the government must control the massive flow of such products from abroad and protect domestic companies. The expo is also the scene for new services related to the tools industry. The event also aims at finding new export markets and introducing the advantages of Iran for foreign investors in the tools and machinery industry.

Iran: the last frontier market.

More than 3 decades of political and economic isolation has not negatively impacted Iran’s attractiveness as an emerging market.
Iran’s emergence from isolation could be the most significant opening of an economy since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia.
With an area of 1,648, 195 m2 Iran is the second largest country in the Middle East and the 18th largest country in the world. Its area roughly equals that of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany combined, or somewhat more than the US state of Alaska.
The country has a population of 77 million ranking number 17 in the list of countries by population. Half of this population is under the age of 35 and there is literacy rate of 93%.
With a population of 7,705,036, Tehran is the country's capital and largest city. It is as well known to be the leading cultural and economic center of Iran. The other major cities of the country are: Mashhad, Karaj, Isfahan, Shiraz and Tabriz.
Iran is a major regional and middle power, exerting considerable influence in international energy security and the world economy through its large reserves of fossil fuels. Iran has the second largest proved gas reserves in the world after Russia and also ranks fourth in oil reserves.
Iran's economy is a mixture of central planning, state ownership of oil and other large enterprises, village agriculture, and small-scale private trading and service ventures.
The Iranian government's officially stated goal is to establish a new world order based on world peace, global collective security and justice.
Attractive factors for any investor may include
- An established banking sector
- Transportation, aviation and energy infrastructure
- Brand conscious consumer market
- Large number of port facilities in Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea
- Rich natural resources of gas, oil, copper, aluminum, silver and gold.
- More than 20 free trade and special economic zones ready to serve international companies- some are actually tax free environments.
- A gateway for shipments and business to and from South-West Asia and Central Asia Caucuses.
- Attractive law on foreign investment
The sectors that could attract investment in Iran are broad. The first and foremost obvious destination for development would be the energy sector which has been set back by the lack of new equipment and technical expertise as oil major entities haven’t had presence in the country. The other attractive sectors include aviation, retail, and automotive sectors.
With the lifting of sanctions, the entry of official retail outlets will be able to tap into a large brand conscious population. This will boom the construction and retail sectors.
Despite the promising picture we described, there are clearly obstacles to do business in Iran that would go beyond just sanctions. Any investor looking for investment in the country would face a set of challenges that is primarily due to not having much precedent of foreign investment during decades of isolation. Thus, having a business strategy, local knowledge and legal expertise will mitigate risk and maximize profit of investment in Iran: the last frontier market.

The Future of Crude in the Texas of the North

Canada is the fifth-largest producer of oil in the world. But when the price of oil plummeted in late 2014, the country’s oil-rich western province of Alberta began hurtling toward a recession, with widespread layoffs and historic reductions in drilling activity.
The impact was felt across Canada, too. Crude oil is the country’s number one export, and 99 percent of it is sold to the United States. But in recent years, the US has emerged as a major oil producer in its own right, following a revolution in controversial fracking technology that has increased US oil production and contributed to a global oversupply of oil. Now, Canada's energy sector faces the difficult question of how to meet new markets in a changing global energy landscape.
VICENews visited Alberta, known as Canada’s “Texas of the North," in what is normally high season for drilling — just before the frozen ground thaws — to explore how the bitter sting of low oil prices is affecting the region’s the economy.

Beautiful Apple orchads - kashmir , India

Kashmir proudly known as the paradise of earth is also home to temperate fruits like apple for which the state is very famous across the globe. The main factor which influences temperate fruit bearing trees is soil, climate and environment which are highly favorable and unparalleled in the province of Kashmir. Apple (Malus pumila) is commercially the most important temperate fruit and is fourth among the most widely produced fruits in the world after banana, orange and grape. Man has very little control over nature especially factors like the climatic conditions which influences the geographic distribution of various kinds and varieties of temperate fruits. Although apple can be grown in all temperate regions including both the northern and the southern hemisphere it is not possible in the tropical climate of South Asia.

Delta-ee - What are the opportunities in the Canadian and Australian gas engine markets?

From Delta-ee's Distributed PowerService. In the past five years, a large proportion of gas engine sales in Canada have originated in Alberta, where they were deployed within energy-intensive industrial facilities on the oil sands. But has the global oil price collapse affected gas engine investments in this sector? What other Provinces should players target?
Similarly, the Australian gas engine market has historically been dominated by coal mine methane projects. But with the collapse in coal prices, coupled with coal mines closing down, what will be the impact on gas engine sales within new projects and the replacement market? What other fuel types show promise?

QC Bud: The Black Market's Last Stand

Quebec loves weed - the number of consumers here has been estimated as high as 1.2 million. But despite being home to ¼ of Canada’s cannabis users, the market here is way behind. Instead, 90% of the industry is controlled by the black market, with organized crime pulling the strings.
But with legalization around the corner, small and large businesses alike are gearing up to compete with criminal groups for Quebec’s lucrative weed industry - valued at around 2.5 billion dollars. Meanwhile, biker gangs like the Hells Angels are expanding and they’re not going to just hand over their share of the market.
This VICE doc explores what the complicated transition from a black to a legal cannabis market will look like in Quebec. We spend time with both illegal and legal players as they begin making big moves in the province - from former criminals who want to go legit, to licensed medical producers preparing to tap into the massive recreational market. And we look into whether Ottawa’s tactics to loosen the criminal stronghold on weed will succeed in Quebec.

Understanding Carbon Storage and Greenhouse Gas Uptake in Grasslands

Presenter: Dr. Edward Bork, University of AlbertaAlberta contains about 9 M ha of grazing lands, most of which (6.5 M+ ha) consists of native grasslands. While these areas are important for forage and livestock production, they also provide many other environmental goods and services (EG&S), including carbon (C) storage, pollinator habitat, and biodiversity. We are undertaking research to quantify these benefits in northern temperate grasslands, and here report on the role of these areas for storing carbon, maintaining soil health, and reducing greenhouse gases. Recently completed studies at up to 114 sites across Alberta indicate that native grasslands hold large amounts of C, including in soil, but also in aboveground dead and decaying vegetation. In pairwise comparisons, native grasslands had approximately 1.5x more total C than introduced forages, and 1.62x more C than cropland cover types. By linking these values to spatial data on land cover changes for the province and market values for C, we estimate that the value of C retained in native grasslands by avoiding conversion exceeds $3B within each of the Prairie and Parkland regions. Even larger values of C have been lost due to conversion of native grasslands into tame forage and cropland. Parallel investigations within agroforestry systems across central Alberta further support these studies, as silvo-pastures (natural aspen forest combined with perennial grassland) were effective at storing C and reducing GHG footprint relative to systems comprised of annual cropland paired with shelterbelts or natural hedgerows. Native grassland also had improved soil health metrics relative to other agricultural land uses based on soil aggregation and the ability to provide water under increasing moisture stress.
Our research also revealed that long-term exposure to grazing was consistent with maintaining, and in select situations increasing, the size of C pools within native grasslands. While grazing predictably reduced C in total aboveground vegetation, this change was offset by increases in other C pools, including root mass, soil organic matter, and in some cases shoot mass, particularly under high moisture availability in SW Alberta. The latter coincided with increased abundance of grazing tolerant introduced plant species, which may help maintain or increase soil C. Moderate grazing was also compatible with maintaining range health, and reduced woody species encroachment into grasslands of the Rocky MountainForest Reserve. Finally, current studies underway are quantifying the role of grazing in altering various greenhouse gases (GHG), including CO2, as well as more potent GHGs such as CH4 and N2O. Collective results from these projects aim to highlight the compatibility of native grasslands in maintaining, and sometimes increasing, a variety of environmental goods and services, including forage production, biodiversity and C storage. Our long-term goal is to encourage the development of novel policies and market mechanisms that reward grassland managers for maintaining and improving these EG&Ss.

CANADA - ALBERTA'S OIL SANDS / TV documentary

Producer/Director/Writer: George Angelescu - www.c21etv.com
Narrator: Paul Bouche
"Walking on oil - Alberta's oil sands" identifies 10 major energy companies, all involved in oil sands projects in Alberta: Syncrude, Suncor, Shell, Western, Chevron, Albian Sands, Terasen Pipelines, EnCana, Imperial Oil - Esso, and Patrol-Canada. Fifty-eight companies are involved in 120 oil sands projects in Northern Alberta, Canada.Watch "Walking on oil - Alberta's oil sands". Discover the real truth about the biggest oil deposits in the world and the stunning environmental impact of oil exploration in the spectacular scenery of Alberta's oil country. Concerns about the future supplies of conventional oil have attracted new attention to the potential yield from "oil sands." Walking on oil - Alberta's Oil Sands" focuses on the Province's crude bitumen oil sands - estimated to be the World's largest Hydrocarbon deposits. According to the World Energy Council, Alberta's reserves are estimated to contain 2,500 billion barrels. Certain experts claim that Alberta's oil sands contain more petroleum than Saudi Arabia's oil fields, and enough resources to supply Canada's energy for more than 475 years, or total World's energy needs for up to 15 years.
But does the World need this oil resource?
Alberta's Oil Sands - The Problem And The Conflict: The fuel from the tar sands is thick and heavy and is bound to water and sand. Extraction of the oil and refining it destroys countless miles of forestland and requires enormous amounts of energy and water. Tar sands oil production creates 2 to 3 times as much greenhouse gas as production of conventional oil hence the contribution to global warming. Enormous machinery is used to remove trees, rocks, soil and sand from the earth and once the tar sands are removed, the resulting huge holes in the ground remain along with the toxic water-borne tailings. As a world together, we have to make the right decisions about the extraction and use of Alberta's immense oil resource.
